Ignore him & walk her to the table, AJ follows yelling. Remind him not to yell. Change her, successfully. Then while changing him, she climbs on the side of the changing table & he kicks her in the face. Scold him & move on.

After done realize the diapers are still not put up from 2 days ago, put them away. Decide to do the homemade wipes wash, grab it & go to the kitchen.

When in the kitchen grabbing stuff, I find a hand soap refill bottle I was looking for last week. Decide to refill that too. Get the soap out & I hear AJ hitting the vent w/ the big wooden whistle. Go stop him so as not to wake my brother.

~~Hang on ~~ insert “Mom, mom, mom, mom…” here

Hear Jayna on the table, turn to look…yup ON the table

Go get her down, notice there is spilled milk on the floor from AJ

Grab a napkin to wipe it up, in the background hear a stirring of my coffee cup

Turn to see Jayna ‘typing’ & stirring my coffee

Go get her down, clean up coffee all over desk(luckily it’s not on the computer)

Realize you never finished the soap & wipes wash…go try to finish.

While getting the soap you need from the bathroom, turn off 100 lights that the kids turned on and open curtains/blinds in 4 rooms.

While doing the soap & wipes wash I hear AJ banging on the floor when I investigate it he’s not just banging something on the floor, it’s a bowl…the contents of which are all over the floor around him. His little sister is eating the smashed cereal he has dumped and is currently smashing.

Eventually I make it back to the kitchen to finish my 2 minute tasks that have now spanned 20 minutes easy.

Somewhere in the mix I changed clothes too…just not sure where, probably when I was opening the curtains

I feel like a character from Laura Numeroff’s books: “If you give a _________ a _________”
